Connecting an i.LINK Device
Notes on connecting i.LINK devices
❑
The computer includes an i.LINK (IEEE 1394) port, which you can use to connect to an i.LINK device such as a digital
video camcorder or to connect two VAIO computers in order to copy, delete or edit files.
❑
The i.LINK port on the computer does not supply power to external devices generally powered by i.LINK ports.
❑
The i.LINK port supports transfer rates up to 400 Mbps; however, the actual transfer rate depends on the transfer rate of
the external device.
❑
i.LINK cables compatible with the computer include cables with the following part numbers:
VMC-IL4415 (a 1.5 meter cable with a 4-pin connector at each end), VMC-IL4408 Series (a 0.8 meter cable with a 4-pin
connector at each end).
❑
The optional i.LINK cables may not be available, depending on the country or area of your residency.
❑
An i.LINK connection with other compatible devices is not fully guaranteed.
❑
The i.LINK connection varies depending on the software applications, operating system and i.LINK compatible devices
you use. See the manual that came with your software for more information.
❑
Check the working conditions and OS compatibility of i.LINK-compatible PC peripherals (for example, an HDD or CD-RW
drive) before you connect them to the computer.
